Preface: While experimenting with the Libby, V/T, and Mage builds for the Paladin I was surprised when I couldn't find a guide for a lvl 30 Vanquisher.

Thats cuz Vanquisher is shit in lvl 30s. Smite doesn't do nearly enough dmg, only way i can think smite being effective is for stun and knocking them into hammer field


And you should really post up your strategy and tactics against other builds for a guide


Duel like a Libby... except going in for Charges with Charge/Fanat is really only to set up your Fanat/Smite strikes. Sync hard, try to bait yourself and fight in your fields. If/when you see the opportunity for a Smite session, try to push enemies toward your hammers ofc or get them into stun/fhr and Swap to Hammer side to finish the fight. Generally you aren't trying to Smite a FB sorc to death ofc. If you get a clean shot at 2 -3 Smites but don't get the amp cast, that's fine, this character has the versatility to get out of trouble and start over. In general:

Sync...Field...Bait... Sync...Smack...Kill. lol

Not a bad guide; format is slightly cluttered but not bad information wise. I always like seeing new guides and new builds. Thx for posting.

Vanquishers at 30 are dumb and just utterly crap.

Only useful for hammers
less life and mana than a hdin
less damage than a hdin
less rep than a hdin
probably less synch due to less vigor
Smite does absolutely no damage

Why the hell would you smite for 200 reduceable damage when you can deal 1.6k+ magic damage.


Barb:
Only use hammers
Necro:
Try smiting a necro
Sorc:
Try smiting a sorc
Zon:
Zon walks 1 step away, your smite misses. In the process, while running up to try and smite, you are "running" and therefore lowering your block. Charge (libby) much much much more effective.
Plaguer:
LOL
CSer:
Smite a cser, I dare you. I DARE YOU TO SMITE MY CSER
Trapsin:
just lol
V/T:
trashes your smite, pokes you with foh+conv
Hdin:
weak hdin with bad smite vs good hdin
Libby:
Hdin vs Hdin, except when you are charging he can hit you for thousands of damage with charge
